Having escaped from work early for a change, I gave my new camera a run-out at a misty and murky Ringway.

A321s of SAS are regular but fairly infrequent visitors. Here is OY-KBB.

A closer look. :)

A B757 of Britannia - I can't remember which. :o

MD82 I-DATG of Alitalia.

AF2568 is operated by Emb145s of Regional Airlines these days. Today's example was F-GUBA.

Syrian A320s like YK-AKE are regular visitors too. B747Fs B-KAC of Dragonair and B-18711 of China Airlines are in the background.

Enjoy...... :D

My my, we are going upmarket. :D There's certainly a noticable improvement in image quality. ;)

Thanks. :)

I'm still getting the hang of it, to be honest. The manual zoom takes a bit of getting used to after the servo-zoom of the Fuji, and I'm still sussing out the various exposure and quality modes.

A nice day would help, mind you! :(

Going by the murky results, I'm sure a nice day would produce very satisfactory results.

I think I shall try and get the long overdue new camera this month too. :D
Not likely to be of A200 quality, but the Z20 is looking tempting. ;)

I had a look at the Z5 but I plumped for the A200 in the end.

I wanted a Nikon 8800.....but Mrs GA but her foot down! :eek:

Nice ones there Grey, according to the weather men it just might be sunny tomorrow. I will set the Alarm just in case.

Good shots there. Nice to see that the final 330 has now been painted in full MYT livery.
